I'm having the same problem, and I have some more information.

First, I have context-minimals installed on Windows XP, SP2, Intel 
Pentium D (3.2GHz), 2GB of RAM.  My current ConTeXt version is 
"2008.11.10 21:40".

I don't have the problem when I run "texexec test.tex", only when I run 
"texexec --lua text.tex" or "context text.tex".

I previously had something like 2008.10.31 installed.  That version did 
not have this problem.

I tried both of Mojca's suggested sequences above and neither had any 
effect on the problem.  With a test.tex file of this:

\starttext
Hello, world!
\stoptext

the resulting PDF file has two pages.  The first has "H e l" spread 
across the middle of the page, and the second has "l o , w" spread 
across the page.  The characters are of the expected size, just spread out.

If I add "\setupbodyfont[lbr,6pt]" at the beginning of test.tex, then I 
get a single page with "Hello," and "world!" spread out across the page 
in two lines of small characters.

If I add "\showgrid", then the resulting page has only one full-width 
horizontal grid line where without the --lua option, I get 41 horizontal 
grid lines.  (At the default font size.)

I hope this helps,
Tad
